A friend told me that Edelweiss Chocolates (http://www.edelweisschocolates.com), in Beverly Hills, has the best marshmallow/chocolate products in LA. Since you know my penchant for things with marshmallow and chocolate I headed straight there and WOW... he was correct.

NOTE TO ALL: I apologize for not coming here years ago.

I introduced myself to Steve Zahir, the owner, and was graciously given a tour of this 61-year-old retail store and factory. Sometimes I am caught off-guard and this experience was one of those times- it totally blew me away! This is the site of the store made famous by the I Love Lucy show- the episode where Lucy works in the chocolate store and she can´t keep up with the conveyer belt! Steve showed me the machine, that was manufactured in1918, and is still being used today. It really is the actual machine Lucy couldn't keep up with on the show.

Edelweiss is a MUST stop on anyone´s trip through Beverly Hills. (4444 N. Canon Street just south of Little Santa Monica Blvd).

Eat More Chocolate

The Mission: Get the World to Eat More Chocolate!

But first, I need to sample and experience as much as I can; so I can be a good group leader- lead by example.

So, I have traveled the world in search of delicious treats from Truffles to Hot Fudge Sundaes. From Great Chocolate Chip cookies in mall food courts to Nutella Crepes on the Left Bank in Paris, I am always on the hunt for new ideas about where to search and what chocolate treats to eat. I even plan on attempting the Hot Chocolate run in Chicago this year.

This site is my place to share insights and findings about CHOCOLATE. Please send me your thoughts- let me know your favorite place to eat more chocolate.
